An analysis task for plotting maps of Arctic sea ice cell-averaged snow melt rate.

Component and Tags:

component: seaIce
tags: climatology, horizontalMap, seaIceSnowMelt, publicObs

Configuration Options

The following configuration options are available for this task:

[climatologyMapSeaIceSnowMeltNH]
# options related to plotting horizontally remapped climatologies of
# snow melt against control model results and observations
# in the northern hemisphere (NH)

# colormap for model/observations
colormapNameResult = inferno
# whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
colormapTypeResult = indexed
# color indices into colormapName for filled contours
colormapIndicesResult = [20, 80, 110, 140, 170, 200, 230, 255]
# colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
colorbarLevelsResult = [0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1., 1.5]

# colormap for differences
colormapNameDifference = balance
# whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
colormapTypeDifference = indexed
# color indices into colormapName for filled contours
colormapIndicesDifference = [0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 128, 160, 192, 224, 255]
# colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
colorbarLevelsDifference = [-0.2, -0.1, -0.05, -0.01, -0.005, 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2]

# Months or seasons to plot
seasons =  ['ANN', 'FM', 'ON']

# comparison grid(s) (typically 'arctic_extended') on which to plot analysis
comparisonGrids = ['arctic_extended']

# a list of prefixes describing the sources of the observations to be used
observationPrefixes = ['']

# arrange subplots vertically?
vertical = False

The option vertical = True can be used to plot 3 panels one above another (resulting in a tall, thin image) rather than next to each other, the default (resulting in a short, wide image).
